It's all a massive waste of everyone's time.
You have next to no employment rights in the first 12 months anyway. Even after that your rights are pretty worthless unless you can afford a lawyer to pursue a claim against your former employer.

yup, all it does is serve to reduce paperwork for HR if you act the cunt early on.
To be fair, when I spoke to the lender direct, a lot of the trouble we had just went away.

As is mine.
I'm been told that they've got no intention of getting rid of me, which is nice to know. I've suggested a similar letter to the mortgage advisor (who should have bloody well thought of that by now).
